“MCN offers a great selection of appealing content, delivered to the customer in a fun, innovative way,” said John Styers, Director of Data Communications Services for Sprint. “Comic readers can now access their favorite funnies on a device they always have with them — their PCS Vision Phone.”

The Sprint Comics service uses a comics “in box” that lets consumers receive a daily comic. Consumers can choose the comics they want — say Dilbert and Hagar the Horrible — and then those comics are delivered daily from a classic “Best Of” comics archive. Sprint comics subscribers can scroll through the comic at their own pace, clip favorite comics to a virtual scrapbook, and also rate comics from “Great!” to “Blah!” The top-rated comics are available to the Sprint Comics community in a “Top Ten” area. Each of the Sprint comics applications are available for $1.99 per month.

“Mobile Comics Network looks and feels fantastic on Sprint’s next-generation network and color handsets,” said FunMail CEO Adam Lavine. “We’re extremely proud of the work we’ve done with Sprint, and feel MCN’s daily stream of premium content will be of great interest and value to PCS Vision subscribers.”

The Mobile Comics Network server formats each comic for the Sprint handsets, optimizing the comic to a consumer’s screen size. The comics are crisp and vibrant on the Sprint phones, and can be easily and quickly downloaded anywhere on the Sprint enhanced nationwide PCS network.
